Class Inheritance Code Challenge Help

I think the initialiser is what's throwing it off, but I'm not sure what's wrong. Anyone see the issue?

Thanks

objects.swift 
class Vehicle {
  var numberOfDoors: Int
  var numberOfWheels: Int

  init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
      self.numberOfDoors = doors
      self.numberOfWheels = wheels
  }
}

// Enter your code below

class Car: Vehicle {
  let numberOfSeats: Int = 4

  init(withSeats seats: Int) {
    self.numberOfSeats = seats
  }
}

let someCar = Car(withSeats: 5)

Hey Sam, Got this answer from an older question on this challenge, but it passes and seems to explain pretty well. Looks like you were really close!

class Vehicle {
    var numberOfDoors: Int
    var numberOfWheels: Int

    init(withDoors doors: Int, andWheels wheels: Int) {
        self.numberOfDoors = doors
        self.numberOfWheels = wheels
    }
}

// Enter your code below

class Car: Vehicle {

    var numberOfSeats: Int = 4

    init(numbersOfSeats: Int) {

       // We first give values to "numberOfSeats
        self.numberOfSeats = numbersOfSeats

      // Then we call super init
        super.init(withDoors: 2, andWheels: 4)
    }
}

let someCar = Car(numbersOfSeats: 2)

Hope this helps!

I understand it much better now. Thank you!

why don't you add "doors" and "wheels" when you call super init?
